Week 1: Dolphins

[raiderfreak7]

Might as well start the regular season discussion. Dolphins up first. Home game and we're favorites, probably won't see that very often this season. Jeanty looking like he has a chance to play week one so we'll see on that. If we can't beat the Dolphins we're very likely going to be in for a very long season.

I put my annual $100 on the money line.

Agree. As bad as this roster is, this is a game we should win at home.

Who did you take?

Their strength (running the ball) is our weakness. Their fans are sitting there saying if we don't beat Raiders, this is a long season. Raiders were worst team in league- until further notice, we should not be favored in any game.

Do we have to?

Do we have to?

No sense delaying the pain.

We actually aren't bad opening game. It's the rest of the season that gives us trouble.

 

[Crow]

A couple weeks early, but sure. Why not?

Last season is behind us. Better coaching staff and some upgrades in certain areas. Like I said, it's a game we should win.

 

[Langlier]

At home vs a team trying to tank. We "should" win. But that's going to assume we are cohesive on O and D.

 

[Langlier]

Achane on o. Couple good lbs in brooks and Rodriguez on d. Only real names. Willis showed nfl skill in limited doses but has Noone to throw to

Fish fans don't want to win; they want to tank.

There is always hope until the first snap so we might as well enjoy it for as long as we can.

They seem to be embracing the tank as a fan base. They have the youngest roster in the league, so if we lose this game, it's going to be a while before I can find a win on the schedule. You're probably looking at the Jet game as the next realistic point to get the first win.

Depends on the new look offensive line. They still looked below average in pass protection but much improved in run blocking in the preseason. Let's hope that carries over.

1st game of the year is always a crapshoot. Can go either way.

Last season we beat the Pats.

18 weeks later they were going to the SB and we were picking first in the draft.
